If LEGO granted Christmas wishes, I would have to ask for:
1) 5.5 length technic axle - so my train wheels don’t fall off anymore
2) modular train railing system - so I don’t have to cut any more hose and the
awkward use of minifig hands
3) train wheels that will grip the track and that are no more than 3 studs in
size - the current wheels are about 3.1 studs in diameter
Does anyone else have a wish list of parts?

Can a LEGO Ambassador forward this palette error onto the LDD design and
LEGO Factory website teams at TLG.
Why does the part described as 'MOTOR 2X2X1 1/3' appear as an orderable LEGO
Factory element in LDD, but does not appear in the LEGO Factory Palette in
LDD?
I think this (and other parts too) are erroneously specified in the LEGO
Factory Palette.
I think someone at TLG needs to cross-reference both palettes and make sure
that the proper element sets are showing up on both palettes.
Can we also please have a 'help' category on the website to report LEGO
Digital Designer and LEGO Factory errors like these.
Cheers ...

They must be a bit slow to change the brick palette, or there is some error.
I tried to find this brick in the LEGO Factory palette, but it does not show
up in LEGO Digital Designer Factory palette, only in the Factory website.
It does show up as a brick you cannot order, if you turn the palette filters
off, but this still makes it hard for people to order it in a LDD model.
And the only color I see it available in is the dark bluish grey from
Factory, it'd be nice of them to make it available in other colors as well.
I think it would be great if TLG could at least make the Factory orderable
bricks match up properly with the LDD palette which shows them.
Cheers ...

And I'm glad to see that we finally get the "Brick 2X4X2 W. Screen" - the part
used as a wheel-well on all sorts of LEGO vehicles that also makes a great piece
for window decorations. That will be a nice asset to have.

Hi folks,
I just thought you all might like to know that it appears that the Factory
palete has been updated to include elements in "Custom Car Garage" and the PAB
selection has been updated accordingly. Perhaps most notably the minifig parts
inlcuding new heads, naboo and agents henchmen torsos, and brown and tan legs,
are now present.

Hi!
Here are three questions: one about LEGO trademarks and two for the LDraw
community. The questions stem from a casual interest in selling custom LEGO kits
with instructions. Because there are existing vendors of excellent such kits -
and books containing similar instructions - I assume that LEGO and the LDraw
community are not hostile to such enterprise. However, as I consider entering
this lucrative market myself, I would like more direct assurance that it is
indeed acceptable.
Firstly, to what extent - if any - may the name, number, or image of LEGO
products be referenced in the sale of custom models? These properties would be
used solely to identify which LEGO sets should be purchased to obtain the
prerequisite pieces for custom kits.
Secondly, does LDraw policy (as expressed by the Contributor Agreement, other
documentation, or tradition) grant third parties the right to capitalize on the
considerable volunteer time, effort, and ingenuity represented by the part
library and the LDraw system?
Lastly, but perhaps most importantly, how do the individual authors of LDraw
parts and programs feel about such enterprise? The good will of the people who
propel this hobby is of principal importance to me. Would you be pleased to see
your work used - and promoted - as part of another small commercial endeavor, or
would you consider it a misuse of your contribution to the community?
Again, because of the considerable precedent - including but not limited to
books by LDraw software authors - I infer that it is not objectionable to market
materials containing LEGO and LDraw imagery.
If nothing else, I hope these questions prompt thought and discussion about the
variety of uses for the LDraw system and the LEGO brick.
Be well, and thank you for your input.
Jim

Sadly in finding the specfic auction above, I also found a few others :(
Thanks for listening.

On the plus side, the auction ended without a bid. I only glanced at it, so I
don’t know if it was terminated by the eBay powers-that-be, or if it truly
lapsed without interest.

If the eBay powers-that-be would have been involved you would get a page that
says the auction number is not valid or does not exist. Since you can see the
auction ended it is because time ran out for the auction with no bids.
In terms of a DVD full of LEGO instructions I only know of several on the market
that are legit. 1
The CD-ROM (ok not a dvd) by Mechanized Bricks of his CUSTOM WWII series I
models, url: http://www.mechanizedbrick.com/mb.html
Foundry DX Mecha CD series (again NOT a DVD), url:
http://www.foundrydx.com/main.html
and Brickmania DVD re-published under license by A&M Productions 2 which
contains all the original Brickmania models, except for Blacksmith Shop which
was licensed to TLC under the MOC series, uel: http://www.aamproductions.biz
The Brickmania DVD is NOT a full 4.8 GB full of data or instructions for that
matter. It also includes tons of other stuff (photos, other instructions, etc.)
In terms of what you can do. eBay does have a form that you can fill out to
report copyright infringements auctions if you go the HELP section on ebay and
type in bootleg recording you will get to this url:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/bootlegs.html at the bottom is a report
violation (you need to be signed in) and can report the auction number. eBay
will look at the auction and determine if they are going to shut it down.
Note that this DOES NOT always work and it depends on the amount of money ebay
has to GAIN from the auction. eBay has been know to turn a blind eye if it
is just one or two people reporting a violation on an item as they would rather
charge the fee on the auction. Do a google search to learn more about this
issue on eBay’s double standards of who and what they crack down on.
Now if TLC itself is not willing to take action (per another post on this
thread) then there is not much we (non copyright holders) can do about it.
1 By legit I mean these optical disc contain CUSTOM LEGO building
instructions that are copyright by the creators of the instructions and NOT
TLC.
2 I, Ahui Herrera, am the owner of A&M Productions.
